NEW ESTABLISHMENT SUMMIT

Two decades after inaugurating the New Establishment report, Vanity Fair took the annual power ranking one step farther, hosting its inaugural V.F. Summit, in October. The result: a singular gathering of innovators, influencers, and disrupters (along with a slate of moderators) at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, in San Francisco. Annie Leibovitz—whose portraits graced the magazine's first, groundbreaking New Establishment listing, in 1994—was there to create the portfolio that follows. Echoing the conference's theme of unexpected pairings, Leibovitz's photographs capture the intellectual and entrepreneurial wattage that is now driving the Digital Age.
